It's good to be a Microsoft employee - i.e. FTE (Full Time Employee). It's bad to be a Manpower employee. If you don't get hired, it's almost impossible to become an FTE.

nice office, good compensation package
The employee performance appraisal system is terrible, it is ruining the company. Management dictates from above how many bad and good grades there should be in each department at the end of the year. Due to the lack of competition in foreign market, the company is strongly developing internal competition. Everyone is each other's enemies. The winner is the one who has a very close relationship with the boss. A person's real contribution to a cause is not...

How to select (highlight) text
Selecting or highlighting text allows you to change the selection in terms of style, font and/or color, and even replace words if necessary. Follow these step-by-step instructions to select text in your document.
Step 1. The mouse is used to select text. The pointer will change as you move it.
Step 2. Move the pointer to the beginning of the desired fragment. Click and hold the left mouse button. While doing this, move the pointer to where you want to stop the selection. As you move the mouse, the text will be highlighted. When you are finished with your selection, release the left mouse button.
The selected text can now be formatted or modified.
You can copy text using the Ctrl+C keys. Delete text - Backspace.
Changing the size and font
The following steps can help make your writing more interesting and engaging. The text can be changed in different ways.
Text alignment
Sometimes the document you are creating may require a different arrangement of paragraphs. By default, text is aligned left. However, text can be aligned to the right or center.
On a note! Select all text Ctrl + A.
You can change the selected text using a combination of keyboard shortcuts, which is sometimes easier:
- Center - select the text, press Ctrl + E.

This can also be done using hotkeys. Everything is the same as last time: press Ctrl and C at the same time to copy the text, and Ctrl and V to paste.
How to Create a Numbered or Bulleted List
Using numbered or bulleted lists can help highlight items or show important steps, hierarchy or sequence of something.
To stop adding new elements and return to standard text, click the numbering icon again at the top of the document.
A bulleted list is created using the same principle, the only difference is 1 step. Instead of the “Numbering” button, click on the “Markers” button, it is located to the right.
There is another way to create a list. First, the user enters all the list items, each one necessarily on a new line. When all the items have been typed, select them all and click either on the numbering or on the markers, depending on what kind of list you need.
You will get the same result. These are different ways and there is no right or wrong, the main thing is that the goal is achieved. Use the method that is convenient for you.

All you have to do is fill out the fields. If you suddenly need additional rows or columns, you don't have to redo the whole thing. Left-click in the table area. In the menu that appears, click “Insert” and select the appropriate option.
This basic knowledge should form your basic principles for working with text. Let's highlight the main ones:
- The text is entered where the blinking cursor is located and nowhere else.
- To change a character, word, line, paragraph, or entire text, you first need to select it. It is necessary that the computer understands what exactly it must perform actions on.
- Once you select the text, you can do whatever you want with it. You can practice, select a fragment and alternately click on the buttons located on the “Home” tab. You'll notice which features can be used together and which are mutually exclusive.
- Don't forget to save your changes to protect yourself.
- Use those methods of solving the problem facing you that are convenient for you.

About 400 Microsoft employees decided to make their salaries public to assess whether they are paid fairly or if they could expect more. The idea originated in Facebook community Young Microsoft FTE, which consists of full-time, full-time employees of the company. Salary data is collected in a regular Google spreadsheet. The headline asks: “Share anonymous information so we can all get paid more.”
The table gives an idea of what the salaries of some Microsoft employees are made up of and what determines them. Column headings include total length of service, length of service with the company, salary and share of bonus payments, as well as bonuses in the form of cash payments and company shares. However, there is no data in the table about the employee field. It is worth noting that the total number of employees at Microsoft is about 144 thousand people.
According to one of OneZero's sources, Microsoft employees share information about their salaries with each other regularly, and every year at approximately the same time - when their salaries are increased.
At the largest tech companies, employees' salaries are supposedly based on their level: the higher the level, the more they are paid. For example, Microsoft employees range from level 59 to 80, Amazon employees range from L4 to L10, and Facebook employees range from E3 to E9. Data from the table in the Young Microsoft FTE group gives an idea of the salaries of approximately level 62 employees working in Washington State. They have been with the company for about three years, and at their current level for about a year. They have a total of about five years of experience, and they have not received any promotions this year. The basic salary of such an employee is $150 thousand per year.
Salary level depending on employee level:
Salary level depending on length of service in the company:
The main criterion for the size of the salary turned out to be length of service in the company, and not the total length of service in the profession. The higher the level of the employee, the larger part of his remuneration comes from shares in the company.
Microsoft employees also told OneZero that a common tactic for them is to leave the company for a short while to work at, say, Amazon, and then return to Microsoft at a more senior level.
Among those who disclosed their salaries were several programmers from India. Based on their disclosures, they are paid significantly less than their Washington state counterparts. On average, a Microsoft programmer in India earns $50,000 a year, while in the US employees with the same experience earn three times as much.
Which representatives of the sphereIT Would you refuse to collaborate with any of these three Silicon Valley giants? But Gail Laakman McDowell also worked in , and in , and in . And wrote a bookThe Google Resume to help those specialists (including young ones) who want to get into these companies.
So, what do representatives from Apple, Microsoft and Google expect to see on a job applicant's resume? The book by Gail Laakman McDowell was studied by experts from the Business Insider portal.
Firstly, they will not ignore the “Education” column. Prestigious educational institution will significantly increase the candidate’s chances of getting an interview. But if you only have a diploma from a not very well-known university, you shouldn’t despair either: you can look for other “entries” into the company through already working graduates of your alma mater or through social media. Also, McDowell notes, it is important to communicate closely with teachers during your studies. She herself periodically drank coffee and talked in an informal setting with one of the professors - as a result, he wrote to her several letters of recommendation. And thanks to them, she got jobs at Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Wharton. McDowell believes that it is not enough to be a good student in any subject - it makes sense to offer help to a teacher with his research projects (or even become his assistant).
Speaking of choosing a major, a liberal arts education or a degree in chemical engineering is very unlikely to open doors to Apple or Microsoft. Yes, there were precedents when, for example, artists were hired. But this is rather an exception. "I guess I should be enthusiastic about saying that your major doesn't matter until you figure out what you really love and what you really want to do. But I'll be honest: your major does matter. Until, for example, Google decides to start its own chemical laboratory, chemical engineers have little chance," McDowell writes in the book. Education in finance, accounting, marketing and, of course, computer technology will attract the recruiter's attention.
Finally, the good news is that GPA doesn't really matter. Naturally, the best companies are looking for the best candidates, but in this search they focus on the experience and knowledge of the candidates, and not on their average grade at the university.
Internships in the field are no less important than a good education. Not every experience will interest Google or Apple representatives. McDowell urges you to start thinking about the “right” internships as early as your freshman year (or even earlier). She herself began to engage in web development before entering college. The author of the book recommends that future IT specialists be sure to gain relevant experience during internships - working under the guidance of some teacher or in some startup (even for free).
About the benefits of charity, communication and versatility
Volunteers, according to McDowell, are held in high esteem by recruiters. But not any kind volunteer work may impress them (serving soup in a soup kitchen is certainly commendable, but not enough). This means either creating a startup related to charitable activities, or working in a similar project.
Communication skills, McDowell emphasizes, are important not only for journalists. All three tech companies are looking for people who write well, speak well, and are able to express themselves.
In general, “multifunctionality” will generally benefit the specialist. As the author notes, the specialist who wants to work in tech company, must have an idea (at least a general one to begin with) not only about the vacancy for which he is applying, but also about the work of other specialists. "The best project managers, marketers, and developers have one thing in common: they understand each other's roles very well," writes McDowell.
An entrepreneur and creator of his own IT project is an ideal candidate for companies like Microsoft and Google. If participation in a charity startup guarantees that the recruiter will pay attention to the candidate and distinguish him from the crowd of applicants, then creating your own project is almost a guarantee of an invitation to an interview (and, in the future, a job offer). But, McDowell notes, the project must be complete and working! If everything remains at the initial stage of development, then this is unlikely to speak in favor of the candidate.
If before creation own business it doesn’t work out, then his popular professional blog or community on a social network can be an advantage for the candidate.
